Rescate of San
Carlos A.C.

RESCATE provides emergency first aid and ambulance service to San Carlos residents and visitors. The EMTs and first responders are available 24 / 7, and are professionally trained in advanced and basic life support, CPR, first aid, and special rescue and transportation techniques.

Rescate owns three ambulances and has a new purpose-built infirmary which includes four well equipped emergency first-aid treatment rooms. We are an urgent / emergency care facility and not a medical clinic. A doctor is always on call for a fee or patients can be directed to a physician of their choice. Emergencies beyond the abilities of Rescate are normally transported immediately to a hospital in Guaymas.

Now in its fourth decade of operation, Rescate first opened in 1980 in a single donated room with two volunteers using a converted personal van for an ambulance. Rescate is a Mexican nonprofit corporation, governed by an elected Board of Directors, all of whom are volunteers and residents of San Carlos. Rescate is entirely self-supporting and is funded through memberships, donations and the fundraising activities of the Rescate auxiliary. Rescate is also recognized as a nonprofit organization by the IRS and all contributions are fully deductible in the United States.
